Libretro ORG

Cross-platform, sophisticated frontend for the libretro API. Licensed GPLv3.

RetroArch is a single app that runs dozens of game emulators via a plugin system called cores, covering consoles from Super Nintendo to PlayStation 4, with rewind, visual shaders, and a gamepad-friendly menu.

Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer into a full blown game console.

Repository containing cheatcode files, content data files, etc.

This repo is for glsl shaders converted by hand from libretro's common-shaders repo, since some don't play nicely with the cg2glsl script.

Collection of commonly used Cg shaders. These shaders are usable by either HLSL and/or Cg runtime compilers. The cg2glsl script will translate most of these into GLSL shaders.
